At the bottom of the Seattle Times article I linked is a list of occupations that used to be male-dominated and are now female-dominated, e.g. veterinarian.
Can we conclude that the gender imbalance among veterinarians is unexpected and undesirable?
It's a good question, and I am troubled by not having the same reaction.
I would say tho that yes, I think it's unexpected and it's probably undesirable. What I'd want to check is how the male veterinarians felt about it. Do they feel like they're running into issues doing their job because of their gender?
